EU VAT
Updated EU VAT Regulations Effective from 1st July 2021
Navigating New VAT Rules for European Deliveries
As of 1st July 2021, changes in the EU VAT regulations affect how Value Added Tax (VAT) is applied to imported goods. The previous exemption for goods valued under 22 EUROS has been discontinued. As a result, VAT is now applicable on all orders delivered to Europe from our website.
Making It Easy for You with IOSS

Seamless Delivery:
Digital Customs Declaration: Each dispatch from Unique Magazines is accompanied by a digital customs declaration. This includes our IOSS number, confirming that the VAT has been collected on your behalf.
